Overview

Since JUnit 6.0 M1 has been released, we should start running our test suite using JUnit 6 for the following reasons.

  1. We want to ensure that our own test suite works with JUnit 6 in Gradle and within IDEs.
  2. We want to ensure that the SpringExtension and related JUnit support in spring-test works properly with JUnit 6.

Indeed, and that's not coincidental. 😉
